This book first came to my attention via the Oharasisiters Instagram. Gilmore is an illustrator currently based in Italy. She works in watercolour and this looks to be an exquisite title. 

“Gilmore’s breezy tone keeps scariness at bay… and her illustrations are at once dreamy and believable. The conceit of a primary school–aged child who is already a seasoned medical professional provides charm from the outset, and Little Doctor’s bravery comes from wisdom and kindness.” – Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

Panda and Penguin love their old sofa – but when the springs poke through and the cover tears – they realise it is time to go shopping! They look at all sorts of sofas – too big, too small, too hard, too soft and even too `arty’! And, of course, they end up with their `perfect’ sofa.

Fifi Kuo is from Taiwan. She did her BA in Landscape Architecture Design, then an MA in Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art.

Meet Tad. She’s the smallest tadpole in a big pond, and lives there with all her tadbrothers and tadsisters.

Something else lives there too… BIG BLUB! When everyone starts to disappear, Tad starts to wonder if Big Blub will get her too…

Or is everyone else going somewhere else; somewhere better? And if so, will Tad ever get there too?

A big story about a tiny tadpole – about growing up, branching out, and taking a leap into life. From the award-winning author and illustrator of The Storm Whale and Granddad’s Island, and the perfect story for everyone who’s ever grown up, or still has a way to go…
